A string of length 3 m is fixed at both ends. If the wave speed on the string is 120 m/s, calculate the frequencies of the first three harmonics.
💡 Hint: Remember to use the correct formula for each harmonic's frequency.
In a tube open at both ends, the speed of sound is 340 m/s. What are the possible frequencies for the tube if its length is 2 m?
💡 Hint: Consider that both ends being open allows all harmonics.
